Fascinating work being done to enhance the Folklore World of MIRZYA

Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, in his signature style for perfection, has requested for a shift in the release date of MIRZYA. The film needs some more time to get all the nuances and worlds just right and he would not like to rush the post-production.

MIRZYA is now coming to theatres in the UK and worldwide on 7th October 2016.

As Mehra says, “The released teaser is the folklore bit, the perceived images in my head the first time I heard the story. I want the audience to share this larger than life experience. It has to be just right. We have taken the seed of this idea and sowed it in a story set in 2016, not even 2015.”

Produced by CINESTAAN Film Company & ROMP Pictures and directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, the story of MIRZYA has been written by poet and lyricist Gulzar, with music created and crafted by the musical trio of Shankar Ehsaan Loy, exquisitely shot by gifted Polish DOP, Pawel Dyllus and has been edited vividly by P. S. Bharathi Mehra. The film introduces Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher, along with Anuj Chaudhary, all of whom make a dramatic entry in this untold love story and brought to life in the Director’s inimitable style.

Inspired by the folk tale of “the legend of Mirza – Sahiban”, MIRZYA is an epic action-romance that plays out in contemporary times. The film unfolds filled with heightened drama & action packed sequences in the visually rich terrain of Rajasthan, juxtaposed with flashes of the fantastical universe of the folklore set in the bleakness of Ladakh.
